I am currently working on this small outboard, it idles fine but dies immediately upon any acceleration.
I have gone through the carb with a fine tooth comb; it is not the problem!
The tiller handle has a cable to the throttle control, but does not affect the carb., it appears a small servo may control the throttle. (It is not plugged in to anything) So i have been working the throttle by hand.
Just wondering if the timing needs to advance as well.
Any thoughts on this little gem?
Thanks, Audie
